Details

Description: All of the Qt5 apps cannot display correctly some japanese characters, showing squares instead.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
qt5-base 5.2.0-3
otf-ipafont 003.03-3

Steps to reproduce:
* Open any Qt5 application that have a text field (I used Qt designed).
* Paste 初音ミク on any text field (I used the filter box)
* The last two characters shows as squares.

This only happens in Qt5 apps, Qt4 and GTK applications do not have this problem. Seems that this happened after harfbuzz was added as a system dep for qt5-base. Please consider reverting the change as this breaks the display of japanese text.
This task depends upon

Reported upstream: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-36066

Also just found a comment from a Qt developer(?) stating that -system-harfbuzz is experimental and shouldn't be enabled by distributions yet.
